Forum Appealing For Other Players [Outdated]

Hello, if you ever wish to appeal for someone on the forums, there are a few rules you will need to follow to make sure the appeal is not auto denied.

It has come to my attention that some people are letting other people on their accounts to appeal, and while they appeal, they post and rate things, which they wouldn't be allowed to do if they created an alternate account. This is called a loophole, which will not be tolerated.

As you know, when you appeal for yourself on the forums, you are not allowed ANY contact with anything while the appeal goes on. Once the appeal is resolved, your appeal account gets banned.

We, as a staff team, have decided to come up with a few rules to prevent these loopholes from happening.

If you decided to appeal for a fellow player, please follow these rules or the appeal will be denied.

1) If appealing for a player, do not post outside of the appeal while it is going on.

2) If appealing for a player, do not rate anyone while the appeal is going on.

Pretty much don't do anything except post in the appeal.

Note: This does not go for in-game appeals.

~~~~

Also, a reminder: Do not to let people use your account to post in your appeal, whether it be in-game or on the forums.


Thank you for following the rules

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask

Thanks for telling us!

 

Very well stated, thanks for putting this together.

 

Thank you for clearing this up.
This applies to Amnesty and Report as well, correct?

 

Not exactly as you aren't confined while making a report or amnesty

 

Thanks for making this clear.

 

Why are you even allowed to rate posts to begin with

 

^ What fun/Krissy said. Note that rule breaking also applies to the rule about making false/whimsical reports. If the report is deemed to be breaking that rule, then the punishment will be applied to the account that posted the appeal.

 

This is basically directed and ImBasicallyJesus and I.

 

Staff don't make rules.

 

I'll run this by CypriotMerks later, but for now it stands, regardless of who it's directed at.

 

??????????????????
You cant set a rule in place without running it by who is in charge first :/

 

Rules don't cover everything. Rules like "use your common sense" exist; it's up to the staff team to interpret these rules when we do our job in keeping the players/staff/forums safe.

 

im not one to be negative... but here is what i thought when reading those rules.
not that my vote matters, but kind of useless/senseless and now the mods have to put time and attention in to control that (which may not be much, but nonetheless is time that at some point adds up), which is time and attention that can be used in other areas of forums or in game.
but thats me. maybe its a bigger problem than i notice or can think of

on another note, if anyone would like to pm, i have alt i used to unban this, and its still up.

late edit, read my next comment, makes more sense than this

 

No rules are perfect. Loopholes will constantly be exploited, and it's our job (as staff) to go "that's BS" and put a stop to that. Otherwise you wind up like the US where everyone exploits loopholes to sue everyone else and get away with anything.

 

Firstly, you can't I place rules without the administrator knowing, even temp rules.

Yet they do when I break a petty unwritten rule.

Of cause they're not perfect, and no once again, your theory is flawed. Loopholes aren't breaking rules, hence they're loopholes. smh.

Just my opinion.

Tagging roaster. ImBasicallyJesus

 

im tired, i reread and noticed "letting people on their accounts to appeal"
that i understand.
wasnt that once bannable, account sharing?
hard remembering.

if i appeal for someone though, im not gonna comment and rate for them.
i know that dosent go for everyone, and i wouldnt appeal for people... but still
for those that do, im sure they dont want to wait days to be able to resume forums stuff.


anyways, i was going from the second half of the message "if you are appealing for someone"
not "if you are using someones account to appeal"
topic gets confusing

goes from letting people on their accounts, to if your appealing for someone.
then at the end says, dont let people on your account to post in your appeal.
by "your" you mean theirs on your(whoever is helping them) behalf? sorry just clearing confusion
